CALM
CALM, the campaign against living miserably, offers men support and information when they’re down or in crisis at www.thecalmzone.net.
We exist to prevent suicide, the single biggest killer of men aged under 45 in the UK. Latest figures show that 76% of all UK suicides were male.
We need your help so that we can provide help to men when they're down or hit a wall and to challenge public perceptions about what being a man is.

On 8th July, more than 65 people will take on the London 10K Run in memory of Lanfranco Gaglione, the ultimate baron who was friend, family and loved one to a great many people.

We are those 65+ people, we are Lan's Runners. Please support us as we take on this challenge to honour Lanfranco, and sponsor us too, we are fundraising for CALM, the campaign against living miserably.

CALM was set up to reduce the high suicide rate amongst men under 35, currently the single biggest killer of young men in the UK. It is a campaign and charity targeting young men with a helpline, magazine and online community, but CALM listens to anyone who needs help or support.

Men are three times more at risk of suicide than young women – in 2010 75% of suicides were men. But while smoking and knife crime make the headlines, suicide is the biggest killer. Most men who take their own lives aren’t in contact with any other agency, and don’t identify with much out there. When asked, what they indicated they wanted was practical, anonymous, confidential help from professionals. Which is why CALM was formed.

Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor us and donations will be quickly processed and passed to our chosen charity CALM. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. We really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.

Please opt for 'Gift Aid' if you can and share this campaign page too.
